Senior Software Development Engineer in Test

Agero, Inc. is a leading provider of digital driver assistance services, focused on enhancing the vehicle ownership experience through innovative technology. They are seeking a Senior Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) to modernize quality engineering for their Accident Management platform, with responsibilities including test strategy, automation-ready test case design, and collaboration with engineering teams.

Responsibilities:

• Own quality strategy for Accident Management features from product intake through production readiness
• Join product grooming, engineering design, sprint planning, and release-readiness meetings as the onshore quality engineering lead
• Ask direct questions about edge cases, acceptance criteria, test data, observability, rollback, client impact, and success metrics
• Convert ambiguous product requirements into plain-English acceptance scenarios and automation-ready test cases
• Write test cases with clear preconditions, steps, data setup, expected results, priority, tags, and traceability back to Jira
• Partner with QA automation engineers in South America to turn test cases into Playwright/API automation and reliable regression coverage
• Review automation PRs and framework changes for maintainability, reliability, test layering, and signal quality
• Define when behavior belongs in unit, component, API, contract, synthetic, or end-to-end testing
• Strengthen test management and reporting through Zephyr, TestRail, Xray, Allure, or similar tooling
• Improve CI/CD quality signals with GitHub Actions, automated reporting, historical run tracking, and actionable failure triage
• Partner with developers to design testable software, build test harnesses, mock integrations, and reduce manual validation burden
• Define release-readiness evidence for staging and production launches, including smoke/regression scope, logs, dashboards, monitoring, synthetic checks, rollback criteria, and UAT/client evidence
• Debug production-like issues across UI, APIs, authentication, environment configuration, test data, integrations, logs, and monitoring tools
• Mentor developers and QA partners on scenario-driven testing, quality-first engineering, automation patterns, and practical AI-assisted test generation
• Help the team move from reactive QA at the end of delivery to quality engineering embedded throughout the SDLC

Requirements:

• Bachelors Degree - Computer Science or related field
• 4+ years of professional software engineering, SDET, or quality engineering experience
• Strong hands-on automation experience across UI and API layers, preferably with Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, pytest, or similar tools
• Ability to write production-quality test automation and review automation/framework code written by others
• Experience designing test frameworks, test data strategies, tagging conventions, CI gates, and regression/smoke suites
• Strong ability to write clear, executable test cases and acceptance scenarios for complex business workflows
• Engineering fluency across front-end applications, backend APIs, service contracts, authentication, logs, CI/CD, and observability
• Ability to join product and engineering meetings and ask useful questions before requirements become code
• Practical experience with Jira-linked test management tools such as Zephyr, TestRail, Xray, Allure, or equivalent systems
• Strong debugging skills: CI failures, flaky tests, environment mismatches, data issues, API failures, authentication issues, and production-like incidents
• Ability to balance speed and rigor: know what must be automated now, what can stay manual temporarily, and what evidence is enough for release confidence
• Strong communication skills with product, engineering, QA automation, manual QA, offshore/nearshore teams, support, and leadership
• Willingness to be hands-on while also leading process: this person should not only coordinate quality work, but be able to do the work and raise the bar
• Angular, TypeScript, Nx, monorepo, or modern front-end architecture experience
• Python experience for API validation, test tooling, data setup, or internal automation utilities
• AWS, Cognito/authentication, CloudWatch, Datadog, Snowflake, Splunk, or similar observability/data platform exposure
• Experience building synthetic monitors, contract tests, API harnesses, or data-driven regression suites
• Experience integrating automated test results into Jira/test management workflows
• Experience helping a team modernize from spreadsheet/manual QA toward traceable, automated, CI-visible coverage
• Experience in insurance, claims, dispatch, logistics, contact center, or other workflow-heavy enterprise products
• Experience using AI coding or test-generation tools responsibly inside a review-heavy engineering process
